Abstract

The present invention relates to a communication technique for converging IoT technology with a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate than that of a 4G system and subsequent systems, and a system thereof. The present invention can be applied to intelligent services on the basis of 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology (for example, smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail, security, and safety related services and the like). The present invention provides a method and a device for transmitting a synchronization signal for device-to-device (D2D) communication. According to the present invention, a first terminal receives a D2D synchronization signal (D2DSS) and a physical D2D synchronization channel (PD2DSCH) corresponding to the D2DSS from a second terminal, and transmits the D2DSS to the second terminal according to a method preassigned with the second terminal so as to indicate that the first terminal has successfully received the D2DSS or the PD2DSCH.
